Donna is right about some people being insensitive but still good at heart. I have going to a stained glass & mosaic workshop for 9 years and the people could not be nicer. They sent a card a week for over a year to me stressing how much they missed me. When I was finally strong enough to attend a session, they all pointedly explained that my halting speech was a result of cancer to the new members. Ask yourself how you would feel with being made the center of attention over your inability to speak fluently. Luckily, I am one tough son of a gun so it did not faze me but when I told the story to my wife, she said she would have been mortified. I bitch about things in this thread, but we need to keep love and charity in our hearts.
